An average movie

To be honest, I wasnโ€™t sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast, I thought I should give it a try. You may have never heard of Peter Bogdanovich but he was actually one of the American directors that emerged in the 70โ€™s and after โ€˜The Last Picture Showโ€™, many thought he would become a major player. Eventually, it never happened and this movie was actually the last one directed by Bogdanovich. So, like I said before, back in the 70's, he was one of the hottest directors at work in the USA. Unfortunately, he never really fulfilled those expectations, I'm afraid. Anyway, this feature which is one of his most recent directing efforts didn't really impress me at all. It was supposed to be more or less representing the golden age of Hollywood in the 20's but, honestly, it didn't care at all for those characters and I was honestly bored by the whole thing. Kirsten Dunst was quite charming, as usual, and she delivered a decent performance but I thought that all those characters were rather obnoxious and they didn't have much interesting things to tell. I mean, I couldn't care less even for Charlie Chaplin who I actually really idolize! Anyway, to conclude, I have seen worse movies and the whole thing was rather well made, but they never succeeded at making it interesting at all, so it was a rather boring movie and I don't think it is really worth a look.
